Subject: All You Need Is Lyrics(My Secrets)

Written By: Dan on 06/18/02 at 09:16 a.m.

Hey, all.  I just thought I'd let you know that finding a song that you know the lyrics to is never impossible.  I'll let you in on one of my secrets:  Every artist out there has a web page devoted to their lyrics.  All you have to do to find the name of the song and who sings it is go to a search engine, YAHOO! is what I use, and type in the known lyrics.  Just a couple lines is good enough.  Try it some time!

I use Google to search for a lot of lyrics. If that fails, I search on Songmeanings.Net for a couple lines, or unique words.

*Some* (not all by any means) who request lyrics simply don't put any effort into researching for themselves. It's too easy to come here, ask and receive. It would be nice if they at least returned a "Thank you" post. :-/

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not impossible.. not all songs are available..

here's one I bet you can't find

Four Tops, "When She Was My Girl"

I was trusting http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/main_index/by_artist/four_tops.htmlbut it's not there. Some of them are in green print, which doesn't help when people research lyrics and can't find the right ones. That's real annoying. Nope, I give up, Chucky.

yeah, I've hit a couple of sites that do that, list lyrics they don't have.. very annoying.. I've done about 500 lyrics searches in the past few weeks, and I've come up short on about 40 of them...

That's still not a bad %age rate. I've been interested in songmeanings purely because you get lots of different artists in the same place, from Deacon Blue even to topanga (my friend, kittieluver3@, wrote her own songs and submitted them on there, much to the jealousy of others). The site gives you the ability to find FROM lyrics sites and bundle them together in the same site. I've submitted lots, from Beach Boys to Deacon Blue. Still, I don't think individual songs are listed in Google's searches from songmeanings, purely the frontpage itself - perhaps it's to do with user-submitted material.
